One of the things I regularly do in SOUL Collective is create and share a prophetic word for the beautiful group of creatives I get to do life with. Usually I'll share it at the end of our Zoom calls, and then send a PDF to use in their personal time with the Lord. This week, I feel compelled to share this with you, the other lovelies that I get to do life with, if only on the page. 🩵
Enjoy!
A PROPHETIC WORD FOR YOU IN THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON
Isaiah 12:4: “Give thanks to the Lord and ask Him for more!”
Isaiah 10:24: “Do not be gripped with fear…”
Isaiah 10:27 “The Lord will remove the heavy burden from your shoulders and break off the yoke of bondage.”
Isaiah 9:6–7 “A child has been born for us… His ever-expanding, peaceful kingdom will never end.”
An Invitation
Beloved creative soul, the Father is leaning close to you in this holy season of Light. Lean in yourself - because there is a fresh invitation humming in your spirit, a gentle nudge toward expectancy. Heaven is whispering over you:
“Give thanks… and ask Me, ask Me - for more!”🦋 He Delights in You . . .
. . . not because you are lacking, but because He delights in enlarging your heart for the very things He already longs to give. Your gratitude becomes a warm hearth where His gifts settle and radiate. Your asking becomes a doorway where you partner with His abundance.
This season is not about polished perfection. It’s about the quiet miracle of Jesus—Messiah, Light of the world—stepping into your creative space again, reminding you that your story is threaded with promise. The same King whose birth broke through the silence of the night is breaking through the silence inside you. He is lighting places you forgot were meant to shine.
🦋 So Hear This . . .
. . . and hear this with tenderness, straight from the Father’s heart:
“Do not be gripped with fear.”
If fear has been a sly visitor at your door lately—whispering about timing, resources, uncertainty, worthiness, remember: fear does not get to write your story. He does. His Kingdom, Messiah’s Kingdom, is a realm of ever-expanding, otherworldly, supernatural peace, and you are being drawn into that widening landscape. If you don’t shrink in this season; you will stretch into strength.
🦋 His Promise Stands Firm
Even the pressures you’ve carried—the emotional weights, the creative expectations, the griefs, the unseen labor—He has seen every bit of it. He knows you so intimately, He’s always moving toward you, and wants to remind you that His promises stand firm:
“I will remove the heavy burden… I will break the yoke of bondage.
Beloved, this is not poetic exaggeration. This is Heaven’s decree over your life.
The strain on your shoulders is loosening. The fog that clung to your vision is clearing.
The places in your heart that felt tight, barren, wintry are thawing under My nearness.”🦋 The Shift
Beloved, you will feel the shift: your creativity will breathe differently, your mind will rest, your spirit will lighten – all as if someone opened a window you didn’t know was stuck. And right in the middle of this, the infant King is speaking His quiet authority over you:
“You are mine. You are chosen. You are equipped for this hour.”Just as the star rose over Bethlehem, Jesus’ ever-brilliant light is rising over your path to guide you. You are being led, not left. You are being carried, not questioned. You are being invited—deeply, intimately—into a Christmas season where once again, miracles feel very real and very personal.
So, Beloved, pause this Christmas season to give thanks. And to fearlessly, faithfully, ask Him for the more – the BIG MORE!
Not out of desperation, but desire. Not from emptiness, but expectation. The Messiah who has come… is coming still! He’s arriving at your studio, into your creativity, and into your household. He’s coming into the tender places of your heart where new dreams come alive in His breath.
I declare that this is a season of joy rising. A season of fear dissolving. A season of burdens lifting. A season where the Prince of Peace writes fresh promises across your sky.
Lift your eyes, dearest creative one: Jesus, Your Light, has come. And He delights to give you “the MORE.”
Merry, merry Christmas my friend! Enjoy all the season has to offer.
I'll see you in the New Year! 🥂
